Supreme Court of Canada rules that Guantanamo Bay is illegal: update on Omar Khadr

Excuse me, Mr. Prime Minister. Could we...um...and by we I mean the US, borrow your Supreme Court?
Ours is broken.
Can anyone imagine our "SC" making this happen?

Tee hee, "ours is broken" nice one... I could imagine ours doing so in another dimension perhaps. Checks and balances, what?

Well said Huntre, well said. If only.

Oh Canada. I agree with you Huntre!

Apparently the Canadian Supreme Court is better at upholding our constitution than we are.

Just another reason why Canada always seems to be more progressive than us.

Justice should never be politicized. Half if not more, of the people in Gitmo, are farmers and people who were at the wrong place and time. Our super arrogant, unfair, and corrupt government will never admit to things such, and let these people go. Because then they'd be admitting to that they were wrong.

Proves again that Canada is superior.

I really didn't understand this story it was way over my head. Politics smolitics

I love how other countries see a problem...

Yet many American citizens have no clue...

What does that say about our news media?

I wish the California courts would rule the same thing.

at least there is one country has a justice department with logical progressive actions.

Where is thy justice America? Will we be out shined by our neighbors to the north? I am glad to see justice for Guantanamo, if not by the Canadians.

There are plenty of illegal things both the Canadian and American Government do. For one, staging democratic elections when i sincerely believe leaders are are appointed. Some of the meat-heads we've had as Prime minister's in the past would make Jim Baker look sincere. Democracy doesn't work folks! Canadians would be better off to join America and scrap the English system.

realcanadian. there was a time when maybe what you said was true, it was the 1800s in America when Jews didn't own the central bank, tried to kill Jackson twice, brilliant man Andrew Jackson, one of the only presidents I like. now its all central bank corporatism from the yanks and Europe and the west are on the band wagon.

did you know that after the second world war Britain was transformed ? corporations gang rushed us and immigrants flowed in to provide the cheap work, and the locals actual blamed the immigrants and we had all that racist lot. the death of British culture and the merchant in the street.

now, from what I see of today's world a constituent monarchy works, it works when the monarch is raised independent of the government, and needs to use their signature to sign things, they are allowed to be present whenever they wish in parliament. democracy was a cooperate joke in our most recent century, and even though Victoria Albert and a lot of Brits were probably in with the same old people that caused all of that corporate take over and switch from an imperial capitalist society to a corporate capitalist society. at least the empire gives us a glimpse of what can be achieved. civil servants going out and helping build a country in the empire, the beginning of the ex pat. I realise a lot of this is far fetched but so is crashing the whole US economy after you did the same thing 10 years earlier and abolishing the gold standard. I believe there should be a common wealth, I believe we need a figure head that loves humanity and the world, I'm hoping the current royal children will not be masonic little whores for parliament but we will see. I think Britain could be changed from the right approach. with democratic systems like we have today you have to find loop holes in the system. like I said the monarch can always choose to be there and their signatures required, there's nothing stopping the queen speak in parliament, or refusing to sign something. she's a figure head for this mysterious " the man " ha-ha. In any case in relation to your point about the Canadian government, since the 1950's Britain had the same problem, but the centre of evil is on your sides of the Atlantic, in Europe there is a slower progression for what is wanted t be achieved. In the USA you can cause the wall street crash double deal arms to both sides of two world wars, you can do things international illegal with a country with no history. You can screw up the whole middle east Korea the west and west coasts of Africa.. you get the point. Once Europe was evil, but at the end of the day Britain isn't the country with concentration camps, security forces being merged to work as one arbitrary force, or such blatant lies being handed out like leaflets.haha

Good Going, Canada.

Now, get rid of that shithead of a Prime Minister.
And start taking measures to stop the inflation in this country. The US economy is not something to look forward, anymore.

We are the cash flow machine that some foreigner owns?

Canada has always been more civilized than America and more informed as well, perhaps because the Canadian government does not control the media like the American governemnt does. I wonder sometimes who really listens to American Media anyway? No I talk to trusts the Media in America so this really makes me wonder why they bother to print or broadcast the garbage and deception.

because this century news papers and media are the propghanda of business men.

Im not sure i agree Robroy1. I think Canada and America are the same, the people and economy are twins, only the Governments are different. I might as well be American, I grew up on American tv, McDonalds, and was probably conceived in a Chevy. My Government has given my country away to third-world religious radicals and African Zulu's. My Grandfather fought in WWII and Great Grandfather in WWI so we could live free. Our Governments have been railroaded by the Zionist who have pushed to squash free speech, and freedom with it. Im now in Russia, and am glad cause i can live free here. You have no idea how 'communist' the west really is until you come to Russia. Think im crazy, come and see.
To kabimbi. Our Canada is totally owned and operated by Zionists, who arent always Jews, but who have Israel's interests ahead of ours. When i can read 1 word of criticism of that illegal state called Israel in our media, ill fall off my chair.
World peace, boycott Israel!

realcanadian i have more of an integratory perspective on social science and world migration. that said, its the zionists or those that started them that need to be ousted. they are protected by the words anti semetism bcause they scream nazi and holocaust and you try to question their actions in things like WW1 and WW2.

they invented corperatism and the wall street crash, there needs to be public social awareness of todays economic political and military history. the word jew was holy and the language hebrew holier, this centuries history has been designed to fool everyone and cause confusion between jews muslims/commies cold war. SMOKE SCREEN hah

It would be nice if the democratic race would be done with. The news that needs to be shared isn't because these two running for President are taking it all for what seems to be selfish gain and not for the good, as they continue to claim they are doing, for the country. This is sad. He was shot and detained for something he possibly didn't do. Complaining about the government is what people have done for years. But getting a "child" out so that he can become a decent adult can be done without pointing fingers. Focus.

"Canada has always been more civilized than America and more informed as well, perhaps because the Canadian government does not control the media like the American governemnt does."

First off, BULLSHIT. How much do you know about native history in Canada?

Realcanadian, you are welcome to stay in Russia, you seem like the type who would find living in the land of Putin as a "freeing" experience. Your grasp of Canadian history shows you are naive to say the least.

The Sponsorship scandal basically meant that the country threw away a moderate government for a hard right wing government over a couple million bucks. It was a bigger mistake to piss in the air and then collectively take a drink.

As for scrapping the parlimentary system and joining the USA? No thanks.

In any case, I don't believe that the Conservatives will do anything other than grandstand and show up for their American allies/overlords.

Who didn't suspect this, anytime the US incarcerates people in another country it's for the purpose of breaking laws. The law in this country only apply to domestic issues and the things that take place here, but when you house people in someone else country what is the reason? explain that

Ummm, 'scuse me Canada, last I checked GITMO wasn't yours to decide on, so please, kindly GTFO.
